Gardening in South Louisiana

Lil’ Peaches

It seems like it was just yesterday I was admiring my peach blossoms. Now, dozens of little peaches are hanging on the dwarf peach tree in the container. I should thin the peaches to get larger fruits but I can’t bring myself to pluck these cute little peaches off while they’re still green. Well, it’s not like I was growing a dwarf peach tree for the fruit anyways. Yep, it was for the ornamental value…….

Hello

After years of container gardening on my apartment’s balcony, I finally have a house with a yard which needed a garden. My parents are avid gardeners, especially my dad, and have passed along the gardening genes as well as many wonderful plants to me. There’s something about a garden with brings a pleasant surprise every day to your life and helps you slow down that hectic and frantic lifestyle that so many of us go through on a daily basis. This will be my version of a combination of a gardening and life journal.
